Karadayan Nombu is a festival celebrated in Tamil Nadu. It falls on the 1st day of the month of Panguni (March - April). Women fast on that day from Sunrise till the time when the month of Maasi changes to the month of Panguni. At that time, they offer prayer and tie yellow sacred thread on their neck. They also offer Sweet Nombu Adai and Butter as neivedhyam. They pray for the long life of their husband. When they tie the tread around the neck, they pray
"Urugatha Vennayum Oraduyum Vaithu Nmbu Nothren
Oru Naalum En Kanavan Ennai Vittu Piriyamal Irukkavendum"
Meaning :I have fasted offering unmelted butter and adai. My husband should not be separated from me ever
Neivedhyam - Vettilai, manjal, paakku, pazham and the yellow thread with a flower tied to it, along with adai and butter
I am a great fan of this Adai...
Ingredients
Rice Flour 1 cup
Jaggery 1 cup
Water 2 cups
Karamani (or Black eyes peas) 3 tbsp
Coconut pieces few
Cardamom 2 powdered
Method of Preparation
1. Cook the Karamani beans and keep aside. You can use a pressure cooker. Make sure that it retains its shape, but cooked well.
2. Dry roast the rice flour till it starts to loose a little colour. Keep aside.
3. Chop the coconut into small pieces and roast in a little ghee.
4. Heat 2 cups of water in a pan and add the jaggery. Melt it. Strain to remove any sand from it.
5. Pour back into the pan and bring to a boil. Add the rice flour making sure no lumps are formed.
6. Mix in the rest of the ingredients as well.
7. Make small balls out of this mix and pat it on a banana leaf or plastic cover. I use ghee in my hands to prevent it from sticking. Make a small hole in the center.
8. Transfer it as is in the banana leaves to idli plates. Or you can slightly grease the plates and put the adai directly on the plate.
9. Steam for around 10 min (or till cooked well).
Serve with a dollop of butter.
